Vaccine Law

Attorneys At Law

In 1988, as part of the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (NVICP), the federal government established The Vaccine Injury Compensation Trust Fund to both compensate those injured or killed by vaccines and to ensure a continued production of necessary vaccines. Now, decades later, the Trust Fund has paid out billions of dollars in damages to thousands of people who suffered injuries from vaccines. Claims for vaccine related injuries must be brought in the Court of Federal Claims in Washington, D.C. and are heard by Special Masters assigned to these cases. Only specially admitted attorneys can practice in this Court.

Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), previously and alternatively known as Reflex Sympathetic Dystrophy (RSD), is an extremely painful and debilitating syndrome that often causes irreversible long term effects on those suffering from it. Procedures involving injections from vaccines are known to be precipitating causes...

Brachial Neuritis

Brachial Neuritis is a condition affecting the brachial plexus, or the group of nerves between the cervical spine and the shoulder, down through the arm. Brachial Neuritis is the swelling and inflammation of those nerve bundles that send signals from the spine to the shoulder, arms, and fingers. The syndrome usually starts with sudden, severe, and steady pain or burning in the shoulder and upper...

Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS)

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP)

Chronic Inflammatory Demyelinating Polyneuropathy (CIDP) is an autoimmune disease which occurs when the body’s immune system slowly attacks the peripheral nerves stripping away the protective coating for the nerves called the myelin sheath. This causes weakness or paralysis of muscles, usually the legs and arms, in those suffering from CIDP. The most common symptoms include fatigue, loss or reflexes...

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura

Immune Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) is an autoimmune disorder that causes excessive bruising or bleeding due to the immune system destroying its own platelets and causing the inability of blood to clot. This term is defined by the presence of a platelet count below 150,000/µL, however, symptoms typically do not develop until platelet counts drop below 50,000/µL...

Transverse Myelitis

Transverse Myelitis is a neurological disorder causing inflammation and injury to the spinal cord. This inflammation can damage or destroy myelin, the fatty insulating substance that covers nerve cell fibers. This damage causes nervous system scars that interrupt communications between the nerves in the spinal cord and the rest of the body.
